2. HOLIDAY DESTINATIONS
ABROAD

3. We have created a top of the
first 10 countries that
deserve to spend an
unforgettable holiday:

4. 1. MALTA
 As one of the smallest states in the
world, Malta is also one of the most
densely populated countries on
earth – for good reason, too. With
more than 3,100 hours of sunshine
a year, an average temperature of
19C and English as a first
language for most people, it's no
surprise that many Britons flock to
the Mediterranean archipelago. An
interest in history would help
residents here, but its small size
could become a problem over the
longer term.

5. 2. PORTUGAL
 Forming one quarter of the Iberian
Peninsula, Portugal is famed for its
rich history, good health care and
wonderful weather. Sharing time
zones with the UK, pensioners will
also find it remarkably cheap to live
here. For example, it's around
three times cheaper to buy
property in Portugal than in France.
It also has the third largest
European expat community after
Spain and France.

6. 3. SPAIN
 Despite rising numbers of Britons
returning from Spain because of falling
house prices, planning permission
disputes and currency fluctuations, this
country has the largest expat
community in Europe as well as the
lowest crime rate of all countries
surveyed. With beautiful cities such as
Madrid and Barcelona, the rolling
countryside of Catalonia, historic
Unesco-protected areas like Toledo
and islands including Tenerife, Ibiza
and Menorca, there's plenty of choice
– but also plenty of places to avoid;
such as half-empty coastal
developments which may never sell.

7. 4. BARBADOS
 This island member of the
Commonwealth has all you would
expect from the Caribbean: sun,
sea, sand and friendliness. The
English language is a huge bonus,
although its main selling points
include virtually free health care,
low property tax, an average
temperature of 26C and more than
27,000 British expats to help you
feel at home.

8. 5. UNITED STATES
 Heathcare is expensive here – and
insurance costs pensioners more
because of the greater risk of making a
claim – but house prices tend to be
much lower. HSBC recently calculated
that sterling-denominated buyers get
more bang for their buck in America
than in any other major country for
expats. Other attractions include
cheap petrol and a generally
favourable climate. It's also home to
perhaps the most diverse culture and
geography of anywhere on this list –
it's a place that never fails to surprise.

9. 6. AUSTRALIA
 Booming demand for commodities
in recent years have boosted the
Australian dollar to levels that can
make sterling-denominated
pensioners wince. But more than
1.3m expats have already headed
to this Commonwealth nation,
making it the second largest expat
community of the countries
surveyed. Property doesn't come
cheap, yet low tax and cheap
health care have convinced people
to make the long trip south.

10. 7.THAILAND
 Pensioners seeking a new way of
life may find it in Thailand, whether
it's from the bustling cities, grand
temples, stunning cuisine or
friendly locals. Cheap property and
petrol costs can be enjoyed by the
41,000 expats currently living
there, which is just one of the
bonuses of living in this beautiful,
culture-rich nation in south-east
Asia.

11. 8. JAMAICA
 The fifth-largest country in the
Caribbean is an island paradise
that includes many jaw-dropping
landscapes, friendly communities,
and stunning flora and fauna. The
English-speaking nation is also
remarkably warm, averaging 27C a
year, while offering some of the
lowest property prices out of the
countries surveyed. However,
poverty and crime in some areas
may deter many potential expats.

12. 9. MOROCCO
 A combination of Roman, Islamic
and European influences can still
be seen in phenomenal cities such
as Marrakesh, Casablanca and
Tangier. Low rainfall and a
temperate climate make Morocco
worthy of consideration in any
expat's shortlist – even if only
2,400 have made the move so far.
Difficulties experienced by some
when buying or selling property –
and other issues with local
bureaucrats – may explain why this
option remains too exotic for most
expats.

13. 10. GREECE
 Yes, really. While the economic
crisis remains dire, this country
continues to offer a relaxed lifestyle
for many who have already made
their pile. As the birthplace of
democracy, Greece has evolved
into a visually spectacular nation
that offers great weather, readily
available health care and – believe
it or not – a low crime rate. Just
make sure the locals don't mistake
you for a German.
